1700s Lost Treasure!

Metal Detecting 18th century French Fur trade sites.

[@DawneneDonikowski]

Early French flintlock pistol!? How cool is that?!! Oh, these finds are super different than anything I would ever see down in Arkansas. I am hooked on these videos.

[@Eric_Detectorist]

Thank you, and welcome to the channel.

[@brianttanner4997]

Great finds a lot of stone artifacts here in ga but nothing like this thanks for the videos

[@Eric_Detectorist]

Glad you enjoyed

[@feraltweed]

The knife and striker don’t work together for starting fires. They would work together for making something to eat

[@Eric_Detectorist]

Again you have educated me. Thank you.

[@MrWozzy28]

my village here in the uk was mentioned in the doomsday book 1086 and is built on a beach with a small cliff at the back of the village. all i ever find metal detecting is modern day stuff. ring pulls modern coins etc. but when I've done building work on some of the houses mainly reinforced concrete floors (houses all on sand) i have found a roman coin, cannon balls, stone cannon balls, brass beer barrel tap, clay pipes, sliver sugar spoons, a whole boat, even a German iron cross which is weird. gave it all to my local museum.

[@Eric_Detectorist]

Where I hunt the lack of farming, and modern habitation are a big part of my ability to find objects.

[@MrWozzy28]

@@Eric_Detectorist not much chance of that here pretty much everywhere has been disturbed at some time or other . anyway thank you for the very interesting video

[@masonmercmetaldetecting]

Great digs guys, new sub here.

[@Eric_Detectorist]

Awesome thank you!

Cool artifacts

[@Eric_Detectorist]

Thanks

[@ThelifeandtimesofBarneyTaylor]

Good spot for sure

[@Eric_Detectorist]

Thank you, these sites can be hard to find but once you do the history is incredible.

[@peterleray6084]

the fire striker (hardened iron) would need to strike flint. NOT a knife

[@Eric_Detectorist]

Thanks for educating me on that. and thanks for watching.

[@williamstewart1378]

Awesome finds

[@Eric_Detectorist]

Thanks 👍

[@CarlitoManchego]

What detector you got & what model is it? How much does it cost? It looked like a Nokta?

[@Eric_Detectorist]

I use the Minelab Equinox 800. I believe you can get these for $600 or so. I hear the equinox 600 is just as good.

[@heyropt]

I've detected for years in Southern CA. The items your pulling out of the ground are completely different from what we find here. This area was settled by the Spanish. Then the Mexicans then Americans. Nice to see find from the French.

[@Eric_Detectorist]

Thank you, I would love to find some early Spanish relics one day.

[@StevenMiller-cx4rr]

I lived in Pennsylvania where Washington crossed the Delaware River. I actually lived in the state park (subdivision predated the park) I can spit and find colonial relics but the relics he finds are amazing to me because we might find some French relics but nothing like this. I’m new to this channel

[@jackburgess9482]

I just ran across your videos and subscribed after the first one. Great content and finds! I wish digging here in Southwest Missouri was that easy, we have to dig through rocks, roots and more rocks to recover finds!!🤣😂🤣

[@Eric_Detectorist]

Thanks for the sub! Not all locations I hunt are easy that’s for sure, but the sandy soil is nice.

[@CCHILSON189]

Those 1600 Jesuit medals are rare and one is for sale on eBay for $148.00

[@Eric_Detectorist]

They are extremely rare. I have never found one like it until this hunt.

[@jayjones6904]

[@Eric_Detectorist]

Thanks for the sub!

[@charliemcelwain8874]

Why isn't any deeper it looks like it was planted

[@Eric_Detectorist]

Depth in my area is so bizarre, sometimes I find items right on the surface and other times items are over a foot deep. I guess it depends on a lot of different factors.

[@C.M.R.Artifacts-qu1ey]

I don't think they used those cut Cooper pieces a arrowheads. I think they used them a jewelry, in my opinion. Just like the ear piece you found on this video. They did use Cooper to make arrowheads and spearheads, but not sure that was one you found. Great finds. Awesome

[@Eric_Detectorist]

That’s a good point. We often find jewelry made from the cut copper so that could have been what that was as well. Thanks for commenting and watching.

[@jayjones6904]

Hey brother from Florida east coast

[@Eric_Detectorist]

Thanks for watching, I hope to do some coastal hunting some day.

[@vancejohn4834]

Awsome finds. Love this period of artifacts. Enjoy your videos & finds.

[@Eric_Detectorist]

Thank you for watching.

That's true!

Two face- Janus, the Greek god?

[@Eric_Detectorist]

That is our best guess. What an odd button to find on a fur trade site.

[@susanhoffman7754]

Awesome finds

[@Eric_Detectorist]

Thanks 👍

[@jeffdavis1795]

Outstanding finds!

[@Eric_Detectorist]

Thanks!

[@Brandongoheen-f3y]

Don't let the state take it

[@Eric_Detectorist]

Luckily for me this is private land and my state only reserves the right to confiscate public land artifacts.

[@Brandongoheen-f3y]

@@Eric_Detectorist I have been hunting mi for a few years now and I never seen that stuff and I threw out a awful lot I'll look at my finds a little harder, I thought I had cut silver before I thought it was trash

[@C.M.R.Artifacts-qu1ey]

You have a special spot there. Treasure it! They are hard to find these days

[@Eric_Detectorist]

Thank you, they are harder and harder to find.

[@C.M.R.Artifacts-qu1ey]

@Eric_Detectorist My Dad, 3 brothers and myself detected back in the 1970's and early 80's. We concentrated on Civil War relics with a little bit of coin shooting. We had permission on 2 privately owned farms on the Antietam battlefield, also one on the South Mountain battlefield and also the Monocacy battlefield. They were great times, I was just 11 when we started. My brother also lived near Charleston SC. we're we also detected. Those were the good old years. You have some interesting areas up there. Lots of history, are the sites in wilderness areas or near populated places. I love that time frame in history lots happened then, that's for sure. Best of luck, look forward to many amazing finds.

[@Eric_Detectorist]

@@C.M.R.Artifacts-qu1ey being so far north I don’t get many Civil War relics. I’d love to hunt that era as well. I hunt a variety of locations. Some are deep in the woods others are right in peoples yards.
